Kindergarten Registration for 2024-2025
If your child will be 5 years old on or before August 1, you can enroll him/her in kindergarten for the 2024/2025 school year. Beginning January 16, 2024, you can complete the on-line enrollment by going to www.dovertornadoes.com and clicking on the parent tab. You will then click the box that says “New Student” and follow the instructions to complete the enrollment process. If your child is currently enrolled in our preschool, it is NOT necessary to complete the on-line enrollment. After completing this process, you will receive kindergarten paperwork in the mail. This paperwork will need to be completed and returned to the administration building. There will be an opportunity for you to visit South School, Meet the Teachers and receive some information during our Kindergarten Orientation night on March 21st from 5:00 PM- 7:00 PM. If you have questions, please call our enrollment office at (330) 364-7144.
Pre-School Updates
Preschool tuition is $130.00 each month. Please be sure to pay at the beginning of each month to maintain your spot in the class. We will soon be planning our preschool classes for the 2024/2025 school year. We currently have a waiting list. You will receive a call at the beginning of February if there is a spot for your child. We will make calls based on the order of the waiting list and if your child will be 3 years old by August 1st. The number of preschool spots available varies each year. If you have questions or concerns, feel free to call South School for more information.
Fees
Prompt payment of workbook and supply fees is greatly appreciated. The fee for K-5th grade is $25.00. As always, thank you for your cooperation. Report cards for the second nine weeks will be held until fees are paid.
Pre-school tuition must also be paid by the first of each month. Our preschool tuition is currently $130.00 per month. Failure to pay your preschool tuition will forfeit your spot in our program.
Winter Weather
The colder weather has arrived. It is time to get those hats and gloves out. We try to go outside as long as it is dry. Please check the weather each day to be sure your child is dressed warm enough for waiting for the bus and for outside recess.
No School
There will be no school on Friday, January 12th due to Teacher In-service day. Our staff will be involved in professional development meetings. School will also be closed on Monday, January 15th due to the observance of Martin Luther King Day.
